JOSO Working Group 7: Preparation of the August 1999 Solar Eclipse
Abstract
As an European association of professional solar observers, JOSO (Joint Organisation for Solar Observations) has organised a working group (WG7) in order to contribute to the preparation of scientists for this `European' eclipse event. We present here the main projects of this small group: diffusion of practical information to scientific teams (planning support, contact addresses in welcoming countries, with an emphasis on Eastern Europe), promotion of collaborations, coordination of a basic experiment by amateurs and professionals along the totality band, and diffusion of an educational reference publication to help local non-specialised scientists and authorities across the continent to provide reliable information to the public.
